===Xbox===
Xbox emulation dates as far back as 2002.* [[Cxbx]] was released as a proof of concept on in August 2002. It can do some test apps, and later commercial games. Discontinued in October 2015.* Xeon, released in 2003, was the first Xbox emulator whose first version can could play games, but the only game that can it could boot and show graphics was Halo CE.
* Dxbx is a fork of Cxbx, released in 2008.
* [[Cxbx-Reloaded]] is a fork of Cxbx, that went open-source in April 2016. Because little work has been done on the original CXBX, its development is very slow (equals 15% playable titles), and like older Xbox emulators, it didn't need a BIOS dump to work.* [[XQEMU]] was the first low-level Xbox emulator. Its first commit It was on February 1, 2009released around mid-late 2012. It emulated games at slow speeds. Its last commit was on in December 2019.* [[xemu]] is a continuation of XQEMU, released somewhere in February 2020. It can play 5x more titles than Cxbx-Reloaded, and needed an requires a BIOS dump to work. ====External links====*[https://youtu.be/aiWH4TcFCAY MVG: The Current State of Original Xbox Emulation on the PC]
